Loracor Overdosage

In adults, somnolence, tachycardia, headache, and extrapyramidal signs, and palpitations in children have been reported with overdoses of greater than 10 mg of Loratadine. In the event of overdosage, general symptomatic and supportive measure should be instituted promptly to patients:
Patients should be induced to vomit, even if emesis has occurred spontaneously.
Pharmacologically- induced vomiting by administration of ipecac syrup, however vomiting should not be induced in patients with impaired consciousness. If emesis does not occur within 15minutes, the dose of ipecac should be repeated. Following emesis adsorption of any drug remaining in the stomach may be attempted by the administration of activated active carbon with water. If vomiting is unsuccessful, or contraindicated, gastric lavage should be performed with physiologic saline solution, particularly in children. In adults, tap water can be used.
Loratadine is not removed by hemodialysis. After emergency treatment, the patient should continue to be under medical supervision.
